The word homeopathy does not, I repeat, does not mean home remedies, folk medicine, herbs, supplements or any other holistic method.
Unfortunately, the sound of the word “homeopathy” often gets in the way of understanding its true meaning. The German word, Homöopathie, is often confusing once it’s translated into the English word, “homeopathy.” The mistake arises in the prefix “homo.” In English, “home” leads some to believe that it must mean home remedies or folk medicine. From this, people suppose that homeopathy must incorporate the use of herbs, food supplements, vitamins or other holistic methods.
The word, “homeopathy” is based on two Greek words, homo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning, disease.
Its underlying principle is known as the “Law of Similars“, established by Samuel Hahnemann in the eighteenth century. It states that any substance which can cause symptoms when given to a healthy person, can also heal those same symptoms in a person who is not well.
The “Law of Similars” is not a new concept. In the fourth century, Hippocrates wrote, “Through the like, disease is produced and through the application of the like, it is cured.”
After years of work and countless experiments, Hahnemann established his hypothesis to be true. Thus the “Law of Similars” is not a theory. Instead, it is shown to be a resounding law of nature or a biological law that can be proven again and again without failure.

I have had little experience with homeopathy, but for the short time I tried it, I think it was helping. I am planning to restart. The person that sells the homeopathy to me, uses hair analysis to determine what areas need to be addressed as well as my list of symptoms. Is this a reliable way to determine what remedies should be taken?
Thanks for the questions Rebecca! I would not use a hair analysis because classical homeopathy uses symptoms to help determine the appropriate remedy. Unless there were symptoms to substantiate the tests, it could confound the picture.
I see a lot of discussion of using Homeopathy for families and children. Is it beneficial for older adults 60+?
Hi Linda! Yes, homeopathy is beneficial for all ages.
Cool, looking forward to the class in Chico in January.

I have always believed in natural healing and have tried almost everything, but homeopathy is one that works every time. I even use it on my dogs (I have 4 of them) and as long as we identify the right remedy with the use of a good homeopath, it is a sure thing. Right now I am treating a heart worm positive dog with a homeopathic remedy and I have confidence that it will work beautifully. The “conventional treatment” is not only cruel and harsh on the animal, it is also highly toxic and deadly. Not to mention expensive, and no guarantee it will work. In the past homeopathy was the only thing that helped my Beagle who suffered from a bladder infection turned kidney infection. Vet had her on antibiotics for almost a year and the infection never got better. The antibiotics did absolutely nothing, and the dog peed on my carpet almost every day because she was in so much pain. When I converted her treatment to homeopathy and took her off the antibiotics, she was cured in less than a week. No more peeing on my carpet! Homeopathy is the best way to approach problems and maintain good health. Thanks for keeping us informed.
I did not know that homeopathy could be used on animals. I have a cat that has struggled with bladder infections. What can I use to help her?
Absolutely! Homeopathy has been used for animals with great success. I recommend you check out my free article “Urinary Tract Infections: When to Do it Yourself and Finish the Job” available from my site: http://www.homeopathyworks.net/

I live in France where homeopathy is quite mainstream. Remedies are quite frequently prescribed by physicians even if the don’t have a homeopathic speciality. Pharmacists are also well-versed in the appropriate remedies and just about everyone I know takes things like Oscillococcinum during the winter. I personally find that for most things homeopathy works far better than regular medicine…
